The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are complacently keeping head coach Todd Bowles for another season despite the fact that just about everyone in the fan base - and many people within the walls of One Buc Place - is out on Bowles and has very little confidence in his ability to lead this ball club to victory.
Meanwhile, other teams around the NFL have been far less willing to rest on their laurels. The Baltimore Ravens, for example, canned a much more high profile head coach in former Super Bowl winner John Harbaugh because the players, prominently superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson, felt that the team had reached a ceiling with him in charge.
Likewise, the Buccaneers rivals, who actually bested them in a critical game during the stretch of the playoff battle, also readily fired their coach despite a much stronger close to the 2025 NFL regular season than the Buccaneers'.
It might not be coaching calling his name
Former Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris was one of more than a handful of coaches to receive their walking papers after another season of mediocrity in the state of Georgia, and whlle he is not finding many takers out there for another stint as a head caoch after he had already failed miserably in Tampa Bay years ago, the defensive coaching guru will not be unemployed for long.
That is because another one of his key traits, his charisma, is catching attention. According to NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport , while Morris could still be hired as a head coach and will wait for opportunities there, if one does not come his way, the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers man will then move to broadcasting. He apparently has interest from companies to work in broadcasting and because of his charisma, Rapoport says that he will be "excellent" in that role.
It is true that Morris is a likable guy, and even though things did not work out for him with the Buccaneers as a head coach, he was actually not that terrible in Atlanta and was a strong defensive coordinator, too. Morris is one of those guys you have to wish the best for in his next chapter, even if he did not work out as a head coach for the Bucs and ended up working with one of Tampa Bay's biggest rivals in the NFC South. It is always exciting to see new faces bringing new insights in the broadcast booth or studio.
